RTSP Implementations

Common open-source RTSP server and client implementations used in production. MediaMTX (formerly rtsp-simple-server) is a ready-to-use media server supporting RTSP/RTMP/WebRTC with an HTTP API for management. GStreamer and FFmpeg provide RTSP client/server libraries. IP camera manufacturers (Axis, Hikvision, Dahua) expose RTSP streams at standard paths like rtsp://{host}:554/live or rtsp://{host}/stream.
